Testimonial

Ann, Longford, Mother of 9 & 11 year old sisters, July 2022

My daughters both really enjoyed the weekly classes... Mark has a great way with kids, is very approachable and encouraging. He watched the tournaments and gave personalised feedback to each child. I think the classes are excellent value for money.

Testimonial

Trish, Dublin, Adult Experienced Beginners

I watched The Queen’s Gambit and decided to take up chess. Mark’s classes are so engaging and the curriculum offers a wonderful structure to my chess education. My level has consistently improved since I joined Chessbud.
